Icon on wx.MDIParentFrame
I would like to put an Icon on the frame but cannot figure out how to do it any help. Running on XP machine. It appears that wxPython suffers from the same problem as most software packages. I find that the reference manual is only of any real help once you have a pretty good understanding of how the software works in the first place.

Re: Icon on wx.MDIParentFrame
Thanks I will keep an eye out for the book. I just downloaded wxGlade and created a small file and looked at how it does it. Again thanks for the response -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
? MDI depreciated
Hate to ask this dum question (since I've been hiding under a rock). But if the MDI UI model is/was depreciated. What is the new UI model. Would love some links that explain in gerneral and specific terms. Len Sumnler -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
wxGlade will not run on my machine
I have installed wxGlade on a MS XP machine. It executed on completion of the install. However, when I try to double click on the wxGlade icon to start nothing happens. I searched the NG and found that this had been report before but no solution was posted. I am running the following versions; Python 2.4.1 wxPython 2.6.1.0 Would like to give wxGlade a try.

I have created a small gui stub as follows using Pythoncard: c:\myhome lmsgui.py lmsgui.rsrc.py When I try to run I get the following error: (Errno2) no such file or directory lmsqui.rsrc.py I understand why I am getting the error the question is how do I fix this so it looks in the proper directories.

Problem Pythoncard tutorial
Under the Getting Started with Pythoncard there is a short little example of changing the starter1.py. I have made the 2 changes and when I run the program I get the following error: Traceback error ... result = dialog.alertDialog(self, 'It works!', 'Showing Off') NameError: name 'self' is not defined whats up Len Sumnler -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Advice on this code
If this is the wrong place to post this, please advise better place.
Otherwise, I have created the following python program and it works.
Running on XP. I think I am now at that stage of learning python where
I'm not quit a newbie and I am not really knowlegable. I know just
enough to be dangerous and can really screw things up.
Any suggestion on improving would be greatly appreciated. However my
real question is I would like to run this program under a GUI interface
and have the GUI have a start button to start this process running and
the messages in the program placed in a multiline text field which when
the stop button is pressed the text field would be copied to a logfile
and the program exited. Below this program is the skeleton of the
python gui program using wxPython (the gui program also works). I have
a metal block on merging the two programs. I think part of the problem
is the first is not really using object except for the database access
and the gui is all object. Second, I'am getting all wrapped up with
variable, object, etc scope issues.
** FIRST PROGRAM **
This program is an attempt to modularize the lmsface program.
I also will try to document the logic of the program

Looking for a Python mentor
Hello Was wandering if there is any place where some one could go to get mentoring on python coding. I have started coding in python but I am the only one in the shop using it. So there is no one around to look over my code give suggestions on improvement, in style, logic, easier ways of doing things etc. I am not really looking for hand holding as much mentoring. I have purchased about every python book out and have a list a mile long on my internet bookmarks. I believe I have a good grasp of the fundamentals procedurally and I am fighting my way through OOP. I am more at the stage of trying to pull things together into programs that perform real world tasks. At one point I thought I saw some place on one of the web site that did this kind of thing but I can't find it now. Any help or suggestions welcomed Len Sumnler -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Newbie using python to update sql table
I have created a python program that takes a flat file and changes some
of the data and create a new flat file with the changes. Part of this
process requires that I try to find a particular model car in an MS Sql
table. This part of the program is now working great.
It has come to my attention that some of the information in the flat
file could be used to update our information in the MS Sql table that I
currently run the query on. Basicly I create a recordset of vehicles
from the MS Sql table based on vehicle year and make and once I have
this recordset I run it through logic which does a reqular expression
compare on the vehicle VIN no to the
VIN number in the table to get a match. I would like to update this
record in the table with info. in the flat file. I believe there
should be some way to update the fields in this record of the recordset
and then update the table. I am not an sql expert and would appreciate
someone pointing me in the right direction. Contained below is a
listing of my code;
# The following code creates a connection object,
# assigns the connection string, opens the
# connection object, and then verifies a good
# connection.

print Database connection SUCCEEDED
else:
print Database connection FAILED
# The following code creates a command object,
# assigns the command to the connection object,
# sets the query, creates the parameters objects to
# be passed to the command object and requests the

Newbie Python XML
I have a situation at work. Will be receiving XML file which contains quote information for car insurance. I need to translate this file into a flat comma delimited file which will be imported into a software package. Each XML file I receive will contain information on one quote only. I have documentation on layout of flat file and examples of XML file (lot of fields but only container tags and field tags no DTD's,look easy enough). I am just starting to learn python and have never had to work with XML files before. Working in MS Windows environment. I have Python 2.4 with win32 extensions. 1. What else do I need 2. Any examples of program doing the same. 3. Have read some stuff that indicates I may need ? schema of XML layout The rating company will ftp a quote realtime to a dir on my system. the python program will then have to poll the dir for new files and automaticly translate and initiate import.

Newbie learning OOP
Trying to learn OOP concepts and decided to use Python for this purpose. I have coded the following CLASS and it seems to work fine. Any comments on the code or suggestions would be appreciated. The class let you take a person's name and split it up into first last and middle. The class defaults to the assumption that the name will be passed in as a string in first last and middle order however you can set the format attribute to take last first and middle order. You can then get a string back in and opposite order. class names: def __init__(self, format = F): self.format = format def namesplit(self, name): if self.format == F: self.namelist = name.split() self.first = self.namelist[0] self.init = self.namelist[1] self.last = self.namelist[2] else: self.namelist = name.split() self.first = self.namelist[1] self.init = self.namelist[2] self.last = self.namelist[0] return self.first, self.init, self.last def fjoin(self): self.namestring = self.first + ' ' + self.init + ' ' + self.last def ljoin(self): self.namestring = self.last + ' ' + self.first + ' ' + self.init Any comments appreciated.
